Abstract

The Point-to-Point Transaction Guidance Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“P2PTG”) transforms virtual wallet address inputs via P2PTG components into transaction confirmation outputs. In one embodiment, the P2PTG includes a point-to-point payment guidance apparatus, comprising, a memory and processor disposed in communication with the memory, and configured to issue a plurality of processing instructions from the component collection stored in the memory, to: obtain a target wallet identifier registration at a beacon. The P2PTG then may register the target wallet identifier with the beacon and obtain a unique wallet identifier from a migrant wallet source associated with a user at the beacon. The P2PTG may then obtain a target transaction request at the beacon from the migrant wallet source and commit the target transaction request for the amount specified in the target transaction request to a distributed block chain database configured to propagate the target transaction request across a distributed block chain database network for payment targeted to the target wallet identifier registered at the beacon.

register the payment source wallet identifier with the beacon;

monitor a use or consumption of the product;

when a use or consumption reaches a threshold level, transmit an order for a replenishment of the product to a supplier of the product; and

transmit a destination address for the supplier to receive a payment from the payment source wallet identifier for the replenishment of the product to a distributed blockchain database configured to propagate the transaction request to a distributed blockchain database network for payment targeted to the destination address provided by the beacon.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the payment source wallet identifier includes a plurality of source addresses of the user, and wherein the user may select one or more sources addresses from which to provide a payment.

4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the additional fields store at least one of public key or a hash of the public key of the user.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the fields include data that may be queried by the user using the public key to confirm the transaction request and payment amount.

6 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the fields include a unique identifier of the beacon.

7 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the fields include the target wallet identifier.

8 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the fields include the user's identification information.

9 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the fields include a transaction amount.

10 . The apparatus of claim 66 , wherein the fields include a micropayment amount.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the beacon is integrated with the product

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the beacon is separate from the product

13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the integration may be by affixing a beacon to the product.

14 . A processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium storing processor-executable components, the components, comprising:

a component collection stored in the medium, including:

a point-to-point guidance component;

wherein the component collection, stored in the medium, includes processor-issuable instructions to:

obtain a payment source wallet identifier associated with a user at a beacon integrated with a product used by the user, which product periodically requires replenishment;

register the payment source wallet identifier with the beacon;

monitor a use or consumption of the product;

when a use or consumption reaches a threshold level, transmit an order for a replenishment of the product to a supplier of the product; and

transmit a destination address for the supplier to receive a payment from the payment source wallet identifier for the replenishment of the product to a distributed blockchain database configured to propagate the transaction request to a distributed blockchain database network for payment targeted to the destination address provided by the beacon.

15 . The processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium of claim 14 , wherein the payment source wallet identifier includes a plurality of source addresses of the user, and wherein the user may select one or more sources addresses from which to provide a payment.

16 . The processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium of claim 14 , wherein the transaction request includes a number of additional fields specified in an 80 byte transaction payload.

17 . The processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium of claim 16 , wherein the additional fields store at least one of public key or a hash of the public key of the user.

18 . The processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium of claim 17 , wherein the fields include data that may be queried by the user using the public key to confirm the transaction request and payment amount.

19 . The processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium of claim 16 , wherein the fields include a unique identifier of the beacon.

20 . The processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium of claim 16 , wherein the fields include the target wallet identifier.

21 . The processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium of claim 16 , wherein the fields include the user's identification information.

22 . The processor-readable point-to-point payment guidance non-transient medium of claim 16 , wherein the fields include a transaction amount.
